Amritsar's Stalled Bypass-Road Flyovers — photo 1

Multiple flyovers on Amritsar's bypass road have remained incomplete years past deadline, turning the bypass into a routine accident zone due to poor visibility and narrow construction-zone passages; MP Gurjeet Singh Aujla called them "symbols of administrative neglect" in the Lok Sabha.

On record

The official record states: "Not specified — MP Aujla alleged "delays, corruption and repeated administrative failures" but no formal government explanation is on record."

Filed as "Stalled/incomplete for years — active accident zone" and dated to Not specified (still incomplete 2025-2026), this entry sits under the "Not specified" line of the public accounts.

What to expect

  • Pillars reaching skyward with no deck to justify them.
  • A signboard promising an opening date that has since passed, unbothered.
  • Traffic queuing patiently beneath the unfinished span.
  • Rebar exposed where the road was meant to continue.

OB O. Bhatia · Amritsar★★★★★
“Visited with my father, who had strong opinions about the whole thing. There is a hashtag, a mascot and a stalled crane.”

Daburji Flyover — Deteriorating a Few Years After Construction

The flyover deteriorated to the point former Improvement Trust chairman Dinesh Bassi publicly warned it "may collapse," alleging substandard contractor work and demanding an FIR and high-level inquiry; it was also built without a service lane.
